Donald Trump does not appear to be backing down from his obsession with seizing a big chunk of real estate in the form of Greenland. He now is set on whacking American consumers with another big tax hike in the form of $75 billion in tariffs on imports from the European countries most vigorously defending the status quo with Greenland and Denmark.

To be clear, contrary to what you read in the newspaper, these tariffs are taxes on us, not the exporting country.
